An Update and an Upcoming Day Trip (Dream Save Do, week 26)
I didn't update last week on my Spending Fast. It's a bit hard, I think, to write about not doing something! :)With just under a week to go, I think I'm going to make my goal of spending only on necessities the entire month of June. I must confess that I did buy...
